the infinity we swim in
The New Zealand Poetry Society's 2007 Anthology, the infinity we swim in, Is Now Launched!
From Helsinki to Hamilton, California to Canterbury, Queensland to Queenstown, the latest instalment in the annual NZ Poetry Society's anthology series showcases the winners of the 2007 international poetry and haiku competitions and features the work of more than ninety poets from across the globe. There are poems about birds, dogs, angels with sinewy feet, phone calls, jewellery, a praying mantis, a repository for lost socks, and constellations. Poems about love and loss and longing, about our relationships to each other and to the world around us. There are poets whose names will be familiar to fans of contemporary NZ poetry, as well as new names who will surely go on to become the stars of the future.
"poems of genuine quality demanding further consideration"
- James Norcliffe (judge, Adult Open section)
"This contest achieved what I'd hoped it would: much fine new poetry"
- Bernard Gadd (judge, Junior Open section)
The NZ Poetry Society is proud to present the infinity we swim in to the wider literary community. Inquiries to info@poetrysociety.org.nz
